Key Benefits of the ‘Scarless’ Face Lift
If you’re looking for a way to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles and diminish the signs of aging, a conventional facelift can create the most dramatic results. The facelift is one of the best procedures for removing sagging skin and tightening up facial tissues that have lost their elasticity and resilience with age; however, they are an intensive procedure that require several incisions. The cuts and incisions can leave you with several scars that may take years to heal.
Instead of pursuing this complex, and often painful surgery, the 'Scarless' Face Lift presents a unique opportunity for facial enhancement.
About the Scarless Face Lift
The ‘Scarless’ Face Lift, otherwise known as the Endoscopic Face Lift was introduced by Dr. Harvey M. Rosen, M.D. in 2005 and has since become a popular choice for people looking for the results of a facelift without painful side effects and visible signs of the procedure. Since a conventional facelift can leave scars around the ears, most people require further cosmetic enhancements to buff away the scars and allow them to heal over time. The Scarless Facelift uses a unique endoscopic technique and facial tissue manipulation process where no incision around the ears is required; incisions are made behind the hairline instead, and these can easily be hidden with the right hairstyle.
Benefits of a Scarless Face Lift
In addition to reducing the appearance of scars, the Scarless Face Lift has several other benefits including:
-
Improved appearance of the lower eyelid
-
Increases facial tissues around the cheek area
-
Provides more natural-looking results
-
Does not create ‘pixie ears’
-
Lower in cost than a traditional face lift
-
Improvements around the frown lines without the use of injectable fillers
-
Can be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments after the quick healing process is over
-
Faster healing process than a conventional facelift
What to Expect with the Scarless Face Lift Procedure
The Scarless Face Lift procedure involves only 3-4 incisions along the hairline and inside the mouth; after the incisions, the surgeon uses tiny surgical instruments to remove and manipulate facial tissue to achieve the desired results. In some cases, incisions are not even necessary, especially for patients who are under the age of 50. In these cases, only the endoscopic technique is used to reach the key areas of the face. The procedure is considered to be a non-invasive treatment that removes excess fatty tissue and reduces drooping and sagging skin. This can dramatically reduce the signs of aging and restore the face and neck area to a youthful appearance.
The Scarless Face Lift is ideal for anyone with excess fatty tissue and loose skin that is causing wrinkles and fine lines. Undefined facial muscles can add years to the appearance, and the Scarless Face Lift manipulates and restructures the facial tissues to create a smoother, more youthful look.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Scarless Face Lift?
The Scarless Face Lift is just one of several facial rejuvenation procedures that can improve your appearance and restore your youthful looks. If you need to get rid of wrinkles on the forehead, around the cheeks or even around the eyes, an endoscopic face lift can help you achieve the results you want.
The Scarless Face Lift can help to:
-
Soften laugh lines
-
Reduce the size of the jowels
-
Tighten the cheeks
-
Reduce wrinkles around the mouth and cheeks
-
Improve the contours of the jawline
-
Remove wrinkles around the forehead
If you’re looking for an effective facial rejuvenation procedure with minimal downtime and reduced risks of scarring, the Scarless Face Lift offers several benefits. These non-invasive facelifts are ideal for both male and female patients between the ages of 35 and 65 who are in generally good health and prefer who want to achieve lasting results with just one procedure.
